The editors of the National Geographic Adventure have chosen Brazil as the Best Adventure Destination of 2009.
This award is a recognition not only of our natural potential for adventure tourism but also the hard work on developing safe adventure travel in our country by the Brazilian Association of Ecotourism and Adventure Companies (ABETA), of which Brazil Ecojourneys is a member.
The Aventura Segura, a program of ABETA and the Ministry of Tourism, has helped to create an excelent standard of safety in Brazilian adventure outfitters that is now being recognised internationally.
Santa Catarina, and Florianopolis in particular, are amongst the destinations recognised by ABETA to be hotspots for adventure in Brazil.
- Rainforest Expedition to the Lagamar Estuary: canoeing in mangroves and trekking through the largest remnants of Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil
- Santa Catarina by bike: from the highlands to the coast: bike all the way from the stunning Serra Geral mountains to the Island of Santa Catarina, Florianopolis
- Crossing of Sao Joaquim National Park: a 3-day hike across this park, created to protect the Brazilian Araucaria, and one of the last natural habitats for pumas in South Brazil
- Aparados da Serra Canyons: an active tour of the "Grand Canyons of Brazil"
- Active Adventures in Florianopolis: rafting, trekking and biking your way around Florianopolis
